Former American Idol contestant Kimberly Locke says that a concert promoter stiffed her out of her hard-earned cash after performing on the American Stars in Concert tour in 2008, which featured several other former AI contestants.

Kimberly took concert promoter Scott Stander to court, but even though he was ordered by a judge to pay her, he still hasn't coughed up the ca$h in over 2 years.

She says:

"I worked very hard on that tour, and I was disappointed that Stander failed to pay me. This was not only unprofessional, but very insulting and completely unacceptable."

What a scumbag! So many people in this industry take advantage of performers. Keep fighting, Kimberly and get your money from this guy!
